S1E60: 61| The Orii Ring-Voice Powered Screen Free Technology

from Hong Kong Confidential · host Auscast Network

Kevin Wong, co-founder and chief executive of Origami Labs, says Orii is the world's first voice-powered smart ring. It is a private communication tool that uses voice assistance technology to communicate. The ring uses sound as a physical vibration which passes directly through your finger and into your ear. Kevin explains that screen free technology is his area of interest and this has been inspired by his dad who has been sight impaired from the age of thirteen. In fact, Kevin’s dad also works in technology and was one of the first blind programmers in Hong Kong, who helped build the world first voice activated computer in the 1990’s. Kevin’s main goal in his tech development work is to create products that are inclusive and meaningful, and this is what he and his team have done with the Orii ring. Kevin started programming at the age of 6 or 7 and was taught by his father. Working in the Start Up space as an entrepreneur has been a wonderful journey for Kevin and he discusses the qualities of person suited to this type of career. He gives advice for anyone who wants to work in the Start Up space. Kevin explains that “the screen free revolution is one of the hottest topics in Silicon Valley”. He is at the forefront of this revolution, is an award winner and will be someone to watch in the future as he is bound to create more ground-breaking technology that “contributes something to society”.
